The National Hockey League (NHL) held its annual All-Star game and skills competition this weekend in Columbus, Ohio.

This event is mostly for the fans to see their favorite players show off some of their skills.

What is a skill you could show off?

Here are your options:
1) You could write about a skill that you have. Explain how you acquired that specific skill?
2) You could share a video of you performing that skill with a brief explanation of how you acquired that skill (all on video).

Good Luck!

Blog 28 - Monday, January 19, 2015

There will only be ONE (1) blog this week! It is a SHORT WEEK :)!

Your ONE BLOG topic this week is FREE CHOICE!  You could blog about whatever it is you want, except what you've already blogged about!  You could go on a rant or you could simply blog about something important to you. Please do not blog about blogs!

I highly recommend that you go OUTSIDE the BOX! Be creative and write about something you feel important or something you would like to tell your audience.

You must remember your audience.  It is not simply me (Mr. Katz) reading this blog!  
If you will be ranting about a certain individual, you need to leave their name out of this.  You could give them a pseudonym or simply leave their name as anonymous.
Make sure your language is appropriate.  Do not go on swearing tangents.

Hooray! We finished Romeo and Juliet.

Despite the sad ending, this story remains a classic in terms of literature as it presents some great themes, such as: true love conquers all.

Could Shakespeare have had a HAPPILY EVER AFTER ending?
Come up with a new and appropriate ending to this classic play.
